One Step at a Time

Just this past week, Scott and I have been working hard at getting Trent to walk back and forth between us. In the prior weeks before, he didn't show much interest in walking on his own, I think he figured he could get places faster by crawling, or walking along the tables and couches. But now he is so excited to walk to us...granted he still is BARELY hanging on to my pinky. Scott let go of him today and he stood by himself in the middle of the room with his arms straight out in front of him trying to balance...then he SLOOOOWLY sat down. It's like a little lightbulb went off in his head and he realized "HEY...I think I want to try this walking stuff". When Scott let go of him the second time around he actually took one step in towards him by himself, but it wasn't enough to call it his actual "first steps". I have to make sure and charge up the video camera..I have a feeling this little guy is going to cross this BIG milestone anytime now. YAY! I can't even explain how excited I am for him to accomplish this walking stuff.

How exciting! It sounds like he is going to be an early walker. You will be amazed how much more busy they will keep you once they walk...especially during church!
